Let's not jump to conclusions

The media is trying to downplay the blatant nazi salute by saying he was "throwing his heart to people"

[email protected]

with you having trouble understanding it

That was a "you" statement.

i agree… however he did deny it implicitly by saying that “everyone is hitler is so tired”….

it’s still obviously a nazi salute and if he immediately said “i’m not a nazi and disavow all nazis, and that was an accident, i didn’t mean to make my arm so straight… i see how it looks like that but it wasn’t on purpose, im totally not a nazi”, it wouldn’t matter at all… it was still a plain nazi salute.
actually hitting his chest first is the way neo-nazis do it now.
i actually heard, years ago, from a friend who had some too close to nazis past, that putting your hand over your heart first means “my heart goes out to the white race” more or less….
also the violent way he snapped his arm out….
it’s UNDENIABLY a contemporary, neo-nazi salute.
i haven’t been able to find another source for why neo-nazis put their hand on their chest… mostly because google fucked up the date range search… and i didn’t really believe my friend at the time… but it was as direct as possible without actually saying it.
musk did essentially deny it, weakly, but that’s irrelevant… except documenting their gaslighting tactics.
joking about nazi-ism has been a main tactic of online nazis for years now

“everyone is hitler is so tired"

This means Musk is bored of being called a Nazi. Nothing more. Certainly there is no denial of doing a Nazi salute.

no it means he’s applying the gaslighting tactic of “you’re so paranoid that you’re imagining nazis in everything”
i mean, if you really can’t see that i can’t help you.

So ... not a denial.

[email protected]

that’s a form of denial.
is the new troll tactic to just be as literal as possible and pretend like you can’t understand anything between the lines?
pretty weak…

[email protected]

So what if it was a Nazi Salute “everyone is hitler is so tired"

You see how a confirmation fits just as easily as your imagined denial.

[email protected]

whatever, troll…

[email protected]

Given you admit it was a Nazi salute, and you are inventing a denial, you are a literal fascist apologist.

The argument is that the explanation was valid, and whether or not you found it valid, is more to do with your inability to get it. Now, this isn't saying anything about you, because you might get it. So, the "you", is not the particular you, but rather "one such that would meet the requirement". But hey, you do you.

[email protected]

That is still not a denial

[email protected]

wow, you sure know how to repeat yourself

[email protected]

"Nah miss me with those books fam, if you can't say it in one sentence like a viral tweet then I simply can't use my brain."

Is not an explanation.

[email protected]

nice attempt at trolling… but no, troll, i won’t be falling for it

[email protected]

You're the one who keeps saying it's denial. I'm telling you it's not.

[email protected]

oh look, you repeated yourself again… what a meaningful discussion

[email protected]

But it is a photo of the actual president doing it!

[email protected]

Same as you

[email protected]

lol well yeah, I’d say it’s equally as disturbing for those of us paying attention. But for certain populations seeing the figurehead do it carries serious weight.
